He seems pretty happy with it so far but he's a tinkerer and he did a lot on his own. There's no intake or plates yet for 3v but as soon as we've got the 2v intake launched I'll ask for a 3v intake based on the same design.Decide on how much effort you want to spend on it. Lightning swaps are neat but I don't like em' without upgraded rods. 3v is a 400rwhp machine waiting to happen. I think you could even make an intake pretty cost effectively but if nothing else I can put you in touch with someone that maybe able to whittle you out a set of 3v plates. B heads are about ideal if you can't land navigator heads but both will require you to make intake decisions. For practicality, find a set of used ported c heads and slap in some lumpy cams with as much lift as you can get. Use a 01 cobra or mach1 intake and a set of plates.Kar-Kraft crate engines are a really cost effective way of just getting the damned thing done but they leave a lot or room for upgrades. DO YOUR UPGRADES BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE ENGINE. THE VALVE COVERS WILL NOT COME OFF WITH THE ENGINE IN THE CAR.</blockquote>
